Neat bird photo. Last time I was on Niwot ridge I was running for treeline to get out of the hail. That stuff hurts on bare skin!

The carp photo was taken in Wyoming, I tend to head north for most of my fishing. Mirror carp seem to be more common at the places I fish than other varieties. While I prefer the markings on a common carp, I'm not too picky.

Hatidua, I've enjoyed your black & white images. It leads one to focus on the depth and textures of the subject. This one's special. I didn't know there was a mirror carp, had to look it up. Exotic in North America apparently. I know there are big carp in the canals around Boulder. Where did you get that photo?


A few days ago I took some monochrome shots, by accident really. Here's a Spotted Sandpiper at 10,700 ft. elevation with part of Niwot Ridge in the background.
